Stella: First sight of Red Bull RB20 F1 car made me go “wow”
Red Bull surprised rivals this season with a significant redesign, shifting away from what made their previous car so successful, adopting a ‘zeropod’ concept reminiscent of Mercedes’ abandoned approach. McLaren’s Andrea Stella commended Red Bull’s bravery in making drastic changes to a winning package, recognizing the risk-taking confidence gained from past success. Both Stella and McLaren CEO Zak Brown had concerns about Red Bull’s potential leap forward this year, as the team focused their resources on innovation rather than refining the RB19. Stella remains optimistic about McLaren’s development progress and aims to close the gap to Red Bull, emphasizing the importance of continuous improvement to stay competitive in Formula 1.
